There will be increased competition in the WEC next year with Porsche, Cadillac and Ferrari joining the top class, but Toyota will push on with the current car instead of introducing an all-new model:
The Japanese manufacturer has revealed that it will push on into the 2023 season when Ferrari, Porsche and Cadillac enter the Hypercar class of the WEC with a further update of the GR010 Hybrid introduced at the start of the 2021.
Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe technical director Pascal Vasselon said: “We will keep the GR010: we are learning and we are committed to making it better.Vasselon wouldn’t be drawn on whether Toyota will introduce so-called ‘evo jokers’, which are modifications allowed in the name of performance.Vasselon admitted that Toyota had “been using jokers” for the second-iteration of the GR010 that came on stream at the start of the current season, but declined to put a figure on how had been used up.
This change meant the GR010 was unable to achieve the forward weight distribution necessary to take advantage of the wider front tyre and suffered what Vasselon described earlier this year as “tyre management issues at the rear”.
